Msgr. Goebel's "Saints to help the Sick and the Dying" is a wonderful prayer book for any Catholic that takes his salvation seriously. The following is an excerpt: "Strange things happen in this life of ours. Stranger still are the happenings in the hours approaching the close of life. On a cold, stormy night, many years ago, a little boy delivered an anonymous letter to a local priest. It read, 'Dear Father, please go to this address (x) to see this old man who is sick. There is no hope of his recovery.' Within minutes, the priest was on his way to the sick bed. Upon his arrival at the dying man's bedside, the priest was greeted with anger by the old man. 'Who brought you here? I don't need a priest. I have lived for fifty-eight years without one and I don't need one now.' The priest refused to leave. He drew up a chair and told the stories of the prodigal son and good thief to try to soften the old man's hardened heart. After much effort, the priest managed to get the sick man to say the Hail Mary, and finally to make a good confession. After the priest had finished anointing him, the old man was curious. 'Father, after all these years, why has God given me this great grace?' For a moment, the priest seemed to have difficulty in answering him; then an inspiration came to him. 'Did you ever have any children?' 'Yes,' the old man replied, very close to tears, 'I had one boy, long years ago. He died when still just a youngster. How well I remember the day! He put his little arms around my neck and whispered: 'Daddy, I'm dying, pray for me! I'll pray for you too, always -- so you can be in Heaven with me some day.' 'And you may ask,' replied the priest, 'why God has given you this great grace? My dear friend, God has only answered the prayers of your little sainted son in heaven. You are going to him now!' And a few minutes later, the old man passed from this earth." 144 pages. 7" x 4 1/2 ".

Carb-Loaded: A Culture Dying to Eat chronicles what director Lathe Poland learned after he was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. He sought to find out why he got sick, because he didn't fit the classic picture of an adult onset diabetes sufferer. He quickly learned that much of what he knew about healthy eating was based on myths or fifty-year-old science. In the film, he searches out why America's modern food culture is killing us. The upside? There is a lot that can be done!

Catholic clergy passages for reading to sick and dying.

Rivers have always been worshipped in India, and yet they are in a deplorable state today. The Ganga, regarded as holy and formally declared as the national river, and the Yamuna, the river of Indiaâs capital, are mortally sick. Many other rivers in the country are declining or dying. It is difficult to find living, healthy rivers, and even the few that exist are under threat of decline. Heavy pollution is a major cause of this situation, but there are also other factors, such as excessive abstractions or diversions of waters, and violence to their physical components such as the river-bed, banks, floodplains, and so on. Underlying such abuses is a poor understanding of what constitutes a river. This book goes into the present condition of several Indian rivers, their various states of decline or health, and the factors that have had an effect on their well-being. It explores also the deeply flawed attitudes and approaches towards rivers and towards the environment in general. The chapters by diverse authors make a plea for a proper understanding of our rivers in all their complexity, for a healthy relationship with them, and for a radical re-examination of what constitutes true development. This compilation is important as a detailed river-wise account of the situation, and serves as an aid to understanding what has gone wrong (or right in a few cases) and what needs to be done in order to restore our rivers to vibrant health.

Like a hospice worker, author Rita M. Reynolds cares for sick and dying animals, helping them comfortably cross the threshold into death. She shares stories about dogs, cats, a donkey, a cow, ducks, goats, and even baby wild mice she cares for as they die. Reynolds teaches basic skills in respectfully handling a dying animal, whether it's a newborn bird that's fallen from a tree or a beloved dog that is terminally ill. Her new edition includes blessings and prayers for animals, whether in the process of dying or who have already passed over. Reynolds believes in divine and angelic influences when it comes to helping animals cross over. She believes animals possess unique souls that transform into an afterlife. She even tells of seeing the spirits of dead animals and messages they bring her. Many of Reynolds' lessons are conveyed through real-life stories, where the reader witnesses how she simultaneously releases and embraces dying animals. Like The Tibetan Book of the Dead, this book has functional appeal and longevity. This book appeals to anyone grieving and looking for comfort.

Most of us can recall a time when we pretended to be sick to reap the benefits that go along with illness. By playing sick, we gained sympathy, care, and attention, and were excused from our responsibilities. Though doing so on occasion is considered normal, there are those who carry their deceptions to the extreme. In this book, Dr. Marc Feldman describes people’s strange motivations to fabricate or induce illness or injury to satisfy deep emotional needs. Doctors, family members, and friends are lured into a costly, frustrating, and potentially deadly web of deceit. From the mother who shaves her child’s head and tells her community he has cancer, to the co-worker who suffers from a string of incomprehensible "tragedies," to the false epilepsy victim who monopolizes her online support group, "disease forgery" is ever-present in the media and in many people’s lives. In Dying to be Ill: True Stories of Medical Deception, Dr. Feldman, with the assistance of Gregory Yates, has chronicled this fascinating world as well as the paths to healing. With insight developed from 25 years of hands-on experience, Dying to be Ill  is sure to stand as a classic in the field.
